Prospective
Students
Field
Placement - Field Experience (student teaching) is considered
to be one of the most dynamic and significant elements of SUNTEP.
A developmental continuum is maintained with a field experience
component in each of the initial years closely supervised by SUNTEP
faculty. This experience culminates in a 16 week extended practicum
(internship) usually in the last year of the program and monitored
by SUNTEP personnel.
Year
1 - Students participate as observers and assistants, in school
classrooms in and near the city in one week blocks. Students will
teach basic lessons incorporating planning and professional targets.
Year
2 - Students are required to complete practice teaching sessions
in the fall and spring of their second year. The practicum will
occur in a northern school in which five days will be completed
in the fall semester and five days will occur in the spring semester.
Year
3 - Students are required to take part in all aspects of teaching,
including planning, teaching and evaluation activities, lessons
and unit planning. The duration of year III field experience is
four weeks, and is considered as pre-internship.
Culture
Camp - SUNTEP Prince Albert holds a cultural camp for students
in the Fall and Spring of each year. Numerous guests, Elders and
resource people are utilized in order to provide students with a
broad cultural experience focusing on Indigenous philosophy, art,
history and culture.
